Hello all,
I'm an almost 26 year old stay at home dad living in Nebraska. I'm working on getting an Associates degree in Applied Science, then hopefully moving on to a Bachelorate. I love music, playing guitar, and watching tv and movies. I've just recently taken up reading books as a way to pass the time. I'm fairly open about my Atheism, and anyone that tries to convert me always leaves disappointed that I poked holes in all their theories and beliefs.

Hello. I having been an FB fan of the THinking Atheist for a while. I guess I am more agnostic than atheist. I have studied almost all of the majour theist religions, and have been involved in a couple. I was also a pagan for a while. Then I came to the conclusion that I was wasn't really comfortable believing in anything in particular. It's just not necessary, plus, the scientific side of me has to have empirical proof of anything and everything.
I live in the "Buckle of the Bible Belt" where there is a church on every corner. Fortunately I don't actually interact with many people outside my work (I have been a tattoo artist/shop owner for over 20 years), so that limits my possible confrontations with theists.
I am looking forward to hearing what others have to say on this forum.

I am 100% certain that I am wrong about something I am certain about right now. Because even if everything I stand for turns out to be completely true, I was still wrong about being wrong.

I joined this form and started posting without a real introdiction. I am a musician, who is earning most of my income teaching guitar. I have traved with bands and played six nighta a week in bars (taverns). I have also driven taxi and handi-capped vehicles (specialty transport for handi-capped people), worked as stage crew and a few other things. The taxi and playing in bars has given me a look at humanity (or lack there of) in a way most north americans would see. I missed getting into MENSA by just a few points. They even appologized to me and said we have to draw a line and stay with it. I live in western Canada.
My avatar is not of me, but an alien that comes from the planet Zswggth who cmes to jam with me occassionally. My girlfriend says I look better than him.
No J. is a discription of my stance on a certain figure that gets discussed here faitly often.

Hello everyone, I'm a 24 yr old, heavily tattooed atheist who (literally) wears my atheism on my sleeve. My journey to atheism isn't really all that interesting. I was raised in a christian household, never really believed, but went with the flow. The more and more I rationally looked at the world around me, the bigger problem I had with religion, and the more vocal I became about it.

@No J.
Ah, I always wondered who that alien was! Tell him "hi" for me!
I know we've already spoken, but welcome [officially]!
